In my opinion, it is easier to store bitcoins during the bear season than during the bull market. Because if you are not new to this market, you know that Bitcoin is in a cycle. Due to the halving, which happens every four years, Bitcoin pulls back before it goes up and rises higher after each pullback. That's why i love bear season and see it as an opportunity. Of course, the most important issue here is whether you are a patient person. If you are entering this market with the dream of getting rich in a short time, i have to say that you will go bankrupt. You have to love to wait and be patient. If you enter the market with the last money in your pocket, waiting is not for you. Even at the smallest drops, you will panic and want to sell. If you are entering to invest, be patient. If you are entering to get rich in a short time, do not get into crypto and head to the nearest casino to you.

but if you own a whole bitcoin it has more value and if the price drops your losses will be bigger. Though you have a point that it is still bitcoin and the losses are the same but talking about the value is that you'll be losing more if you invest more (which you bought a whole bitcoin).

A bear market is really a test for those who are new holders as they will tend to panic sell and those who are experienced one is they keep buying as they treat it as a sale so they would buy more if they have extra money to spend.

Now that's something good to hear about. This person holds since 2012, and here I am who started in the middle timeline of bitcoin. I might have sold my bitcoins so many times. I think if I sum up all the balances from all the addresses then there is possibility that I held around 0.10 BTC or something. However, there is catch in that. I held them back in time, meaning that would be sum of total received coins but not the current balance of that address. I am not a weak hand but I am selling them because I need them really.

I dont know, I may not able to be as strong as franky did but it would be increase my heart beats if I am holding 1 BTC and the prices are going nuts all the time. 

In a bear market like this I don't care much about bitcoin's price - because I know it's value :-). What I consider is accumulating as much bitcoin as I can. With money I can afford to lose. Sometimes I sell some to buy at lower price, just to accumulate even more bitcoins. So in some sense I am quite greedy. Greedy of getting more bitcoins. The more the price decreases the more my greed increases :-) I hope I am able to keep patience and don't begin to do stupid things. We never can be sure about that. 

For those of us who have been active on the forum for many years, the bear market is nothing new, nor do we experience it too stressfully (at least it seems so to me). I will say for myself that if I witnessed the time when 1 BTC was worth even less than $200, then I have no reason to feel bad nowadays.

For those who are just starting out, I think this might be the perfect time for an investment, although it is possible that the price will be even lower in the coming months. I think that the chances for that will decrease as we get closer to the halving in 2024, of course assuming that the halving will have the same effects as it was the case in the past.

I believe anyone involved in the market has researched this, certainly everyone knows the history of bitcoin. Your advice, I am not saying they are useless but those things they can easily find on the internet. They know everything, but in my opinion, what a newbie needs most experiences, which no one can share and give advice. I was also a newbie and there is no better advice than to experience it myself. I want all newbies to experience this bear season, and they will learn their own lessons.

If you had 1 bitcoin when price was at its all time high and price crashes to were it is now... Is anybody going to be happy about how things have turned out... I don't think so! This is why I believe as hodlers, let's try to take out profits whenever possible, I would suggest that if you invest say $1000 let's cashout 25% @ 4X to allow our portfolio to be risk free and enjoy the crypto journey without any heartaches.

I know about Bitcoin when it was in hundreds but only managed to understand the potential and start investing when its probably around 2k to 3k before the bull run of 2017 so for one who managed to see both phases can survive mostly unless they fall into huge debt. But the real weak hands are new investors who invested in the last bull run now will be in a frustration or something worse.

First, let me help clear up one wrong notion here, it doesn't mean those who hold 1 whole Bitcoin unit are in for long, in fact, we have newbies that don't know a dime about bitcoin and have not spent up to a week in the bitcoin journey but yet have the finances to afford 1 or even multiple BTC since they have the funds and the price of Bitcoin is low which make it very Interesting.
If you ask me, I will say the best time to buy Bitcoin is during best market, that way the buyer will have a favorable entry price and lower risk of loss, and holding one whole Bitcoin unit gives extreme joy since the holder can easily calculate how much thousands of dollars he stands to gain if Bitcoin made a new all-time high.
